Kylie Jenner says she maintains a connection with Robert Kardashian father even after his death. In a deleted scene from the family's hit reality show Keeping Up with The Kardashians, Jenner told Kourtney Kardashian, "I don't know, I feel like your dad like talks to me." Robert Kardashian, famous for his role in the O.J. Simpson murder trial, passed away in 2003 from Esophageal cancer.
